Live and Love Life

I'm not complaining... but, the fact is, that life is crazy. It's fun, It's exciting, stressful, busy, full of ups, downs, and turn- arounds. The trick is learning to enjoy life through it all with a bright outlook and a strong effort to help others outlook to be enlightened. I get so tired of the huff and puff frustration of little things that we get caught up in that don't even matter. What's the point in ruining a day, a relationship, or any other outcome over something so trivial? It's a waste of emotion, time, and energy. I wish we could all just be willing to be optimistic. I wish we could be willing to be kind and soft spoken. I wish we could just get over ourselves.

That's one thing I've been working on lately. I'm trying to get over myself- my problems, issues, annoyances, etc.- and focus on others. I have found that when I really make an effort to focus on the people around me, instead of myself, It's a lot easier to be genuinely interested in what they are saying, feeling, and doing. I'm trying to brighten every day for those around me and for myself by being optimistic and light hearted even when I'm being pulled down by daily worries.

I'm already seeing such a difference in conversations with friends, family, and strangers. I'm more excited about everyday, and I'm more interested in others' interests. People are more excited to see me.
